This is rather personal but i am hoping to get some advice. I am currently undergoing a child arrangements order so i can see my non verbal Autistic daughter. The consultant who diagnosed her is suggesting that because i live in Manchester and my daugher lives in Hereford that she can travel providing she is shown photos of where she will be staying. The problem with this is she doesnt like to interact with people especialy if you are trying to show her something no matter how eye catching the photos are. trying to convince the courts that every child is different and the best approach would be to let the parent reach an educated decision on whats best for her is becoming so difficult please help.
Many thanks for the advice. I have attended the court hearing today and i have been granted access to my daughter gradualy over a period of time. I think the one thing which may have helped is that i have just completed an Autism awareness diploma so i can better understand what is going on with her and hopefully improve her quality of life when she does stay with me.
